About ApricotKing
Since 1946, the Gonzales family has grown the rare and fabulous California Blenheim apricots. Grown on our Hollister ranch, we continue to be the farmer, pruner, dryer, packer, and seller of the vanishing Blenheim apricot. We produce the best tasting apricots in the world all "Home Grown in the Flavor Zone"!
In addition to our incredible dried apricots, be sure to discover our variety of nuts (walnuts, pistachios, almonds) and other dried fruits (peaches, pears, prunes, and more). For those who believe less is more, we have dark and delicious unsulfured dried apricots. And don't forget our sweet and tart selection of apricot jams and syrups as well as our decadent chocolate covered fruits and nuts. Simply delicious! Everything here on the ranch is organically grown.
Enjoy!

Simply Slabs 2025
"Which apricots are the sweetest?"
The answer to the question:
SLABS...ALWAYS SLABS....
Slabs have the highest sugar content of all the apricots because they're longer on the tree...picked when they're soft and overripe.
Ours are machine cut, paper-thin, and delicate...even though they're the most labor intensive to produce.
These cots are separated from the rest of the pack by their unique color and flat-ness.
Blenheim slabs are the ultimate #1 choice of apricot aficionados everywhere!
Low in sulphur, so eat them, or refrigerate.

Apricot heaven

I grew up in Australia but have lived in the US for over 25yrs and have finally found these wonderful dried apricots that remind me of the ones I ate growing up in Australia. Well done ApricotKing, thanks for the brilliant flavour!

Wonderful flavor...got to pace myself!! They are my all time favs!!! As a child my favorite snack was dried apricots. It was often used in Armenian dishes so not at all unusual to have a bag in our cupboard. After a while my mother had to hide them because..well after all just one more.... Needless to say in my 80 years I have tasted quite a few, so recall Hadley's on our way to Palm Springs, I never went to the candy aisle...headed first to the dried apricots. So a history of 'tasting' and one day I find 'Apricot King', not sure where I saw the ad and..of course had to try them. Oh my...I can not order too much....it's gone in a flash around me!!! Most 'authentic' tasting dried apricots anywhere!! Even in Istanbul!!! And Yerevan, Armenia!!!

Best apricots I've ever tasted
Posted by Bob Maclean on Feb 20th 2025
I've eaten alot of apricots, and as a child, grew up around a Croatian grandmother in Mountain View who still helped in orchards, cutting cots for drying. She also canned her own, and made AMAZING jams from Blenheims. But these slab apricots are the best I've ever had--they're the best. One reason is the grower uses less sulphur in drying, which helps make a better flavor, and less digestive issues. So, these are now my #1 choice. Thanks, ApricotKing!!
